Company Overview: Inception is a startup poised to revolutionize the creator economy with a unique live auction platform that combines the immediacy of live streaming with the robust capabilities of blockchain technology. Our mission is to empower artists and creators by enabling real-time monetization of their work. Leveraging our patented technology, we aim to transform how creative content is valued and traded.
Job Description: As our CTO/Technical Co-Founder, you will be instrumental in building a working prototype from scratch—using custom development approaches rather than relying on no-code tools. This role is critical as we prepare to launch our platform commercially or secure further funding through demonstrating our innovative technology's potential.
Responsibilities:
- Lead the development of a scalable, secure platform from the ground up, integrating live video streaming, real-time bidding, and blockchain for NFT transactions.
- Choose appropriate technology stacks and oversee the entire software development process, ensuring high performance and adherence to best practices in code and architecture.
- Collaborate with the founding team to refine the product vision, aligning technical strategies with business goals to build a market-ready prototype.
- Manage and expand the development team, providing technical leadership, mentorship, and setting a high standard of quality and innovation.
Requirements:
- Proven experience as a CTO or senior technology leader in startups, with a track record of developing complex systems from inception to launch.
- Deep expertise in modern software architecture and hands-on experience with technologies needed for live streaming (e.g., Amazon IVS), payment systems, and blockchain (Solidity, smart contracts).
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to choose the best technology and approaches to meet business needs.
- Experience building secure digital platforms that handle real-time user interaction and data processing.
- Familiarity with the creative industry, particularly the needs and dynamics of content creators and collectors.
- Strong leadership abilities with experience in building and motivating high-performing technical teams.
- Excellent communication skills, capable of advocating for technical solutions with team members, investors, and non-technical partners.
What We Offer:
- Significant equity in a startup with innovative vision and substantial growth potential.
- Opportunity to lead the technology strategy at the forefront of the creator economy.
- Autonomy in technical decision-making and building your team.
- Remote and flexible working conditions.
